Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
1. An electronic device, comprising: a body having at least one accommodating space and a first connector; at least one electronic module accommodated in the accommodating space, wherein the electronic module has a plurality of connection ports and a second connector electrically connected to the plurality of connection ports, and the plurality of connection ports is exposed on the outer surface of the body; and at least one elastic element surrounding the junction between the first connector and the second connector, wherein the electronic module presses the elastic element against the body.
An electronic device features a body with a cavity and a first connector inside. An electronic module sits inside this cavity, containing multiple external connection ports (like USB, HDMI) and a second connector linking these ports to the first connector. These external ports are exposed on the device's outer surface. An elastic element (made of plastic, foam, or rubber) surrounds the joining point of the first and second connectors. The module presses this elastic element against the body, providing a secure and cushioned connection.
2. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising at least one fixing element for fixing the electronic module to the body.
The electronic device, as described with a body containing a cavity and a first connector, an electronic module with external ports and a second connector electrically connected to the first connector and exposed on the outer surface of the body, and an elastic element surrounding the connector junction which the module presses against the body, further includes a fixing element (like a screw or latch) to physically secure the electronic module to the body. This ensures the module stays firmly in place within the device.
3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the fixing element includes a screw or a latch.
The electronic device, which features a body with a cavity and a first connector, an electronic module residing in the cavity with external ports and a second connector electrically connected to the first connector and exposed on the outer surface of the body, an elastic element surrounding the connector junction where the module presses against the body, and a fixing element for fixing the electronic module to the body, includes a fixing element that specifically uses a screw or a latch mechanism to physically hold the electronic module in place.
4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the body further includes a positioning rail disposed in the accommodating space, the electronic module has a positioning groove, wherein the positioning rail and the positioning groove cooperate to guide the electronic module into the accommodating space.
The electronic device, as described with a body containing a cavity and a first connector, an electronic module with external ports and a second connector electrically connected to the first connector and exposed on the outer surface of the body, and an elastic element surrounding the connector junction which the module presses against the body, also includes a positioning rail inside the cavity of the body. The electronic module has a corresponding groove. The rail and groove work together as a guide to properly align and insert the electronic module into the body.
5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the connection ports include Universal Serial Bus (USB), Ethernet port, High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), Digital Visual Interface (DVI), Serial ATA (SATA) interface, external SATA interface, or a combination thereof.
The electronic device, as described with a body containing a cavity and a first connector, an electronic module with external ports and a second connector electrically connected to the first connector and exposed on the outer surface of the body, and an elastic element surrounding the connector junction which the module presses against the body, includes connection ports that can be one or more of the following: Universal Serial Bus (USB), Ethernet port, High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), Digital Visual Interface (DVI), Serial ATA (SATA) interface, external SATA interface. These ports allow for various types of data and signal connections.
6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first connector and the second connector are connected in the form of gold fingers and slots, Serial ATA (SATA) interface connector and pins, Optical Disc Drive (ODD) connector and pins, electrical panels and electrical panel contacts, pogo pin and pad, or male pin connector and female pin connector.
The electronic device, as described with a body containing a cavity and a first connector, an electronic module with external ports and a second connector electrically connected to the first connector and exposed on the outer surface of the body, and an elastic element surrounding the connector junction which the module presses against the body, has the first and second connectors joined using one of the following methods: gold fingers and slots, Serial ATA (SATA) interface connector and pins, Optical Disc Drive (ODD) connector and pins, electrical panels and electrical panel contacts, pogo pin and pad, or male pin connector and female pin connector. These provide electrical connection between the body and module.
7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the elastic element is formed from plastic, foam, or rubber.
The electronic device, as described with a body containing a cavity and a first connector, an electronic module with external ports and a second connector electrically connected to the first connector and exposed on the outer surface of the body, and an elastic element surrounding the connector junction which the module presses against the body, uses an elastic element formed from plastic, foam, or rubber material. These materials provide cushioning and secure the connection between the body and the module.
8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic module has at least one ejector mechanism for ejecting the electronic module out of the body.
The electronic device, as described with a body containing a cavity and a first connector, an electronic module with external ports and a second connector electrically connected to the first connector and exposed on the outer surface of the body, and an elastic element surrounding the connector junction which the module presses against the body, also has an ejector mechanism on the electronic module. This mechanism allows for easy removal of the electronic module from the body.
9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic module has a plurality of port covers that are movable and connected to the electronic module, the port covers are used to selectively shield or allow access to the corresponding connection ports thereof.
The electronic device, as described with a body containing a cavity and a first connector, an electronic module with external ports and a second connector electrically connected to the first connector and exposed on the outer surface of the body, and an elastic element surrounding the connector junction which the module presses against the body, has movable port covers attached to the electronic module. These covers can be used to selectively block or provide access to each of the corresponding connection ports.
10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one elastic element comprises a first elastic element disposed in the accommodating space and a second elastic element disposed on the electronic module, the first elastic element and the second elastic element have corresponding concave-convex shapes.
The electronic device, as described with a body containing a cavity and a first connector, an electronic module with external ports and a second connector electrically connected to the first connector and exposed on the outer surface of the body, and an elastic element surrounding the connector junction which the module presses against the body, has the elastic element implemented as a first elastic element located inside the cavity of the body and a second elastic element located on the electronic module. These two elastic elements have matching concave and convex shapes, fitting together to provide secure cushioning.
